A radiaocatice isotope is being produced at a constant rate `X`. Half-life of the radioactive substance is `Y`. After some time, the number of radioactive nuceli become constant. The value of this constant is .

A

`(XY)/(ln(2))`

B

`XY`

C

`(XY)ln(2)`

D

`X//Y`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The number of radioactive nuclei becomes constant when the rate of production is equal to the rate of decay `rArr X= lambda N`
